Embler

At 1:50 a.m. on May 26, Lewisburg Police responded to a medical call on 5th Avenue North.

There they found Bobby Embler, unconscious, sitting on a riding mower in the back yard.

Officers checked Embler for a pulse while attempting to wake him. When Embler finally awoke, he allegedly clenched his fists and reached back as if to swing at the officers.

Identifying themselves to Embler, officers noted in their report that he appeared “heavily intoxicated.”

Told that EMS would examine him, Embler again became hostile, swinging his arms and getting off of the riding mower, whereupon he fell.

Officers determined that he was unable to stand on his own.

According to the report, Embler agreed to be transported to Marshall Medical Center, but again became hostile when put on the gurney. EMS was forced to administer a sedative in order to calm Embler down.

After arriving at the Emergency Room, Embler was calmer and appeared to be close to falling asleep.

At this point, officers left the hospital in order to respond to another serious call.

Shortly afterward, the hospital requested an officer as Embler was again hostile and threatening staff.

Marshall County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched, due to LPD being at another call, and managed to again calm him Embler before returning to service.

Later hospital staff again reported Embler’s behavior, saying that he had left his room and had behaved aggressively, including threatening nursing staff. By this point, he was medically cleared and they asked that he be removed from the premises.

Embler was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct and held on $1,000 bond.
